I know I’m 13 but still?

It is okay to have a limited idea of what you want to do. Look at this as a research opportunity. Every composition class ask your teacher if you can write about some aspect of a teaching career. Once you have the ressearch done, job shadow if you can.
The last time I knew what I wanted to do next, I think it was “go to college to study something” and I was maybe your age. The rest just kind of fell into place along the way, and I’m happy with it all so far. I’d decide I was going to go to some college, somewhere, for something and just leave it at that for a few years. Even if you don’t go to college, a) you’ve still always got the option by the time you graduate and b) you probably better learned how to work hard at something by taking on more challenging classes.
What I was always told is that almost nobody else really knows what they want, either, and a lot of the ones that think they do just make decisions early and *often*.
as far as being a teacher… ask yourself, do you want to have more fun, or teaching? would you want to deal with little kids or teens? when you go to school, you’ll might want to notice what grade you liked best at school.
you should be worried when you’re a senior and on, but not now. you have plenty of time! 🙂
You can also consider being a Recreational Therapist.
Recreational therapists, also referred to as therapeutic recreation specialists, provide treatment services and recreation activities to individuals with disabilities or illnesses. Using a variety of techniques, including arts and crafts, animals, sports, games, dance and movement, drama, music, and community outings, therapists treat and maintain the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of their clients. Therapists help individuals reduce depression, stress, and anxiety; recover basic motor functioning and reasoning abilities; build confidence; and socialize effectively so that they can enjoy greater independence, as well as reduce or eliminate the effects of their illness or disability. In addition, therapists help integrate people with disabilities into the community by teaching them how to use community resources and recreational activities. Recreational therapists should not be confused with recreation workers, who organize recreational activities primarily for enjoyment.

Don’t worry too much, you have a bright future ahead of you!
As a teacher, you can study everything. If you are like me, I realized that I enjoyed reading and teaching. I combined my two interests into majoring in english and history in college. Think about something like that. Reflect on what you like, what makes you tick, what gets you up in the morning (beyond your mother) and make decisions on that. Your tastes will change; its okay if your decisions do to. That is a natural part of life. You’re 13. You have your whole life ahead of you. Step back and think about it, and start to make choices that will help you make and attain goals. I am nearly 100% sure that majority of your classmates will change what they want to do when they get to college. Chillax and enjoy life. You’re 13. You have time.
